Emotional pictures guide selective visual attention. A series of event-related brain potential
(ERP) studies is reviewed demonstrating the consistent and robust modulation of specific …

Although non-invasive methods such as functional magnetic resonance imaging,
electroencephalograms and magnetoencephalograms provide most of the current data …

In the phenomenon of attentional blink, identical visual stimuli are sometimes fully perceived
and sometimes not detected at all. This phenomenon thus provides an optimal situation to …

Electrophysiological correlates of the processing facial expressions were investigated in
subjects performing the rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) task. The peak latencies of …

Visual attention can be voluntarily directed toward stimuli and is attracted by stimuli that are
emotionally significant. The present study explored the case when both processes coincide …

The size of the human pupil increases as a function of mental effort. However, this response
is slow, and therefore its use is thought to be limited to measurements of slow tasks or tasks …

Electrophysiological recordings during visual tasks can shed light on the temporal dynamics
of the subjective experience of seeing, visual awareness. This paper reviews studies on …

Even in the absence of sensory inputs, cortical and thalamic neurons can show structured
patterns of ongoing spontaneous activity, whose origins and functional significance are not …

The attentional blink (JE Raymond, KL Shapiro, & KM Arnell, 1992) refers to an apparent
gap in perception observed when a second target follows a first within several hundred …

Scalp-recorded electroencephalographic (EEG) signals produced by partial synchronization
of cortical field activity mix locally synchronous electrical activities of many cortical areas …
